Kid: "This is a King's Indian, sicilian variation" Ben: "It's definitely not a sicilian" Kid: "It's the King's Indian Defense :D" Ben: "Close enough" This was 6 years ago and I'm sure that kid is way higher rated than me by now.
Actually, the kid's right about irrelevance vs being a _non sequitur._ A _non-sequitur_ is a conclusion that doesn't follow from the argument; "What's the winning move?" "My dad's out in the hallway" is just an irrelevance. A _non-sequitur_ would be something like "I ate fries for lunch, so I'm better at chess than you."
Yeah, but he didn't. A non-sequitur is specifically a conclusion that doesn't follow from the argument used to support it. Ben's example of "What's the winning move?" "My dad's out in the hallway" is just an irrelevance, as the kid says. A non-sequitur would be something like "This move wins _because_ my dad's out in the hallway."
Love the audience participation here.
No talking

Ben puts the GRAND in grandmaster. He just taught me what 'non sequitur' meant, hahaha. Love you, Ben! Hail your patience 👐🏾
